There are 1.5 BILLION Muslims in the world today. I've been assured by the media that the vast majority of them are peaceful people who do not want to kill Jews and Christians. According to the media, they all believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

There are 1.5 BILLION Muslims in the world today.I've been assured by the media that the vast majority of them are peaceful people who do not want to kill Jews and Christians. According to the media, they all believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

In fact, I've heard that 99 percent of them are just like me. I worship God Incarnate, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who died to save me from the penalty of my sins and rose again. He ascended into heaven but will return someday.

Now, you don't have to believe the way I do. You can worship a fireplug as far as I'm concerned, and you can proselytize and get other people to worship fireplugs, because we are free moral agents. I think you'll go to hell if you worship a fireplug but that's your right.

It's also your right to refuse to trust in Jesus, and I support your right of refusal. I think your refusal to believe in our Savior and Lord will send you to hell, but that's an issue between you and God. I believe others have the right to worship God in their own way even though it is not the right way. The media and the progressives tell me 99 percent of the Muslims would agree with me.

That means a mere 1 percent of Muslims are radicals who would support terrorism. One percent of 1.5 BILLION is 15 MILLION. Fifteen million: That's almost as many Southern Baptists as there are in the world, and many of you think there are too many Southern Baptists.

Now let's assume that 99 percent of those 15 million Muslim supporters of terrorism are people who would only cheer for TV cameras if a terrorist flew a passenger jet into a tall building in the United States. Let's figure that a mere 1 percent of them would actually be willing to conduct terrorist activities, like strapping on bombs and blowing themselves up. That computes to just 150,000 crazies.

If 150,000 Muslim crazies got the word from an imam to go to the United States and spread out, we'd have 3,000 per state. We've got 114 counties in Missouri, so that would give us 26 Islamic nutjobs right here in Phelps County.

What harm could 26 Islamic terrorists do in a county the size of Phelps?
